Unlike the migration last fall, there won’t be any massed swarms of birds suddenly pouring into the area. Instead there will be a flock of Canadian Geese.

Or some Sandhill Cranes…

Or some Mallards…

Or a special guest appearance by a Bald Eagle. While Bald Eagles have become prevalent in Wisconsin, I don’t know of any living here and this is only the third one I’ve sighted while hiking at Lake Kegonsa.

Many of the other small birds are also beginning to return as the temperatures rise and the snow melts.
